Hey chimp you changed masks.

Actually, we love the "facts" supplied by you online bookkeeper.
We have no idea why you are trying to push then back several pages with your cut-and-paste bulldozer.
Don't worry, I plan to.
Y'know, I went to the SA tea party for about 6 hours to try to get a feel for the crowd and see if anything intelligent was going to come out of the speakers' mouths. Three things stood out:
1)the only common denominator was anger, but the anger was completely unfocused. If there was something like a central issue, it was taxation -- which was ironic since nobody out there besides Glenn Beck looked to have any money, meaning they would all pay lower taxes under the current administration's proposed tax structure. Worse for the, errrr, "movement," electorally speaking, is that there seemed to be a very healthy percentage of libertarians who probably won't be voting beside the GOP when it counts.
2) There were practically no minorities. I saw one black girl, and a handful of latino families. Out of maybe 15K. In San Antonio, TX. Again, electorally speaking, that bodes ill for the "movement."
3) Most people left after Glenn Beck/during Ted Nugent, which begs the question: were people there to protest, or just to see some celebrities, listen to some classic rock and maybe get on TV?
They don't think they need them. For them, white power is the only way to save America.
I addressed the issue of your posting regurgitated chain email bull and you just lost it after that.
It's hilarious.

Yeh Ling-Ling is a naturalized citizen born in Vietnam of Chinese parents. She had approximately 20 years of education abroad (Cambodia, Taiwan and the University of Paris-Sorbonne). Ms. Yeh immigrated to the United States in 1980. She was featured as a leader advocating sustainable immigration on page one of the Washington Post on 5/11/2006.
After working 10 years preparing immigration applications, Ms. Yeh realized that, although some immigrants are assets to the U.S., problems that concern natives and legal immigrants - including energy shortages, unemployment, homeland security, sprawl, gridlock, overburdened infrastructure and rising ethnic tensions - cannot be solved without also addressing rapid population growth driven mainly by record levels of immigration.
More than 200 of her articles have appeared in many publications across the U.S., such as Los Angeles Times, Harvard Law School's Record, Christian Science Monitor, Asian American Policy Review of Harvard University, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Newark Star Ledger, Philadelphia Inquirer, Atlanta Journal- Cons ution, San Francisco Chronicle, Rocky Mountain News, Providence Journal, Omaha World-Herald, Salt Lake Tribune, Seattle Times, Union-Leader, Sun Sentinel, Denver Post, New York Newsday, Helena (Montana) Independent Review, St. Paul Pioneer-Press, Honolulu Star- Bulletin, Lexington Herald-Leader, San Diego Union-Tribune, Idaho Press-Tribune, Des Moines Register, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Birmingham News and USA Today magazine. Her scholarly article en led, "Mexican Immigration and its Potential Impact on the Political Future of the United States," appeared in the Winter, 2004 issue of the Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies.
Two opinion pieces by Ms. Yeh have been reprinted in a college text book, California Dreams and Realities: Reading for Critical Thinkers and Writers. Excerpts of her article, "Legal Immigration Must Be Curbed, Too" from USA Today magazine were reprinted in the national Sixth Edition of Prentice Hall Literature, "The American Experience." Another article of hers, "Inside Asian America," which originally appeared in A. Magazine, was reprinted in American Government.
Yeh Ling-Ling has been interviewed by numerous media, such as CNN, Associated Press, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Atlanta Journal-Cons ution, Austin American-Statesman, Manchester Union-Leader, and Deseret News. She has appeared on more than 300 talk shows nationwide. AsianWeek published a positive cover story about her work in the February 17, 2000, issue. Jonathan Alter of Newsweek wrote a column about her on MSNBC on 8/17/2001 en led, "Immigration: Worth a Second Look." Ms. Yeh was featured in an article in the November/December 2004 issue of the Sierra Magazine en led, "A Tale of Two Immigrants." She has also been on a number of immigration panels, such as those sponsored by the Commonwealth Club of California, Lewis & Clark College in Oregon and World Forum of Silicon Valley.

This is the board of directors of the Diversity Alliance for a susatainable America.As you see they come in all shades.
I'm sure you have a grasp on your community, but that's YOUR community not mine. My community's tea parties had many chinese, cambodians, laotins Indians in a word alot of legal immigrants including Yeh ling ling, as well as dare I say it.........white americans
Picked utterly without regard to their socially-approved racial diversity, no doubt. ;-)
Meet the new Know-Nothings.
I don't doubt that, I'm just commenting on what I saw -- if the tea-parties' message failed to reach a broad spectrum of people, they need to figure out what they're doing wrong if they intend to extract some political capital come election time. Toning down the "shoot illegal immigrants" rhetoric might help considering hispanics are on track to be the most powerful electoral demographic in the near future.
Just sayin'.
I don't know where you're out of, but I'm tempted to say that if the tea-baggers failed to interest hispanics in TX, the probably had the same luck in NM, AZ, CO, and obviously CA since those poor saps (Californians in general) aren't too fond of fiscal conservatism in thought or deed.
I have complained for years about the problem. I have also advocated for at least two years to make it impossible to find work my mandating employment eliligibility checks of sorts and imprisoning people who hire the illegals. This isn't happening.
No deportation because it's too expensive.
No checks because of... I don't know, they use various excuses.
I am flat out fed up. Yes, if they will not do these other things, then I say shoot them as they cross. I would go and take my rifle if it was legal to shoot them.
If they are crossing without going through customs, they are violating the law.
Yes!
You are wrong. I am suggesting shooting them. I agree there are other ways. It's just not happening.
How many more US citizens have to die from illegals murdering us?
this, absolutely without question, is something i could envision wc doing.
That's going in the sig.
E-verify is apparently working now...
It would be cool if you could work in the "women and kids" part, too.
if he can't, we could always start a daily reminder thread.
don't forget that all of this is coming from a guy that was RAISED ON WELFARE.
It's not required. Immigration is simply not enforced except as show.
As a legal immigrant I can say that immigration is certainly enforced.
The problem is ILLEGAL immigration and why the we haven't closed our borders yet.
If ILLEGALS can't come, then you won't have this problem and you won't need to shoot anybody.
I know. I can only shoot them if they break into my house.
Arpaio is lucky no one took these actions when his folk made a run for the border. Yes, if you're Mexican American, somewhere in the woodpile is likely an illegal or two.
flood became a trickle since 2008, but now we're shooting folks on the other side: http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/wh...rol?fullpage=1
